HCI for people with cognitive disabilities

Published: 01 September 2005 Publication History

Abstract

The self-advocacy movement (Dybwad & Bersani, 1996) grew out of resistance to oppressive practices of institutionalization (and worse) for people with cognitive disabilities. Moving beyond the worst abuses, people with cognitive disabilities seek as full participation in society as possible.
